1. Keep pinning your top performing pins

Since these pins are converting into clicks, give them the boost they need to go viral by consistently pinning them manually or using Tailwind. 

These pins are already proven to get people's attention so you have to keep these pins circulating on Pinterest. 

2. Use the same headline in your top clicked pins

If one pin is getting a lot of clicks it could be the catching headline. Try using the same headlines to make multiple pins for the same post. 


Pinterest loves new pins and the easiest way to make new pins without publishing new contents is to make new pin graphics for your old posts. 


To make new pins fast use pre-made pin graphics that you can easily edit in Canva.
